Bi-Monthly Goals

Bi-Monthly Goals

I can’t believe how long it has been since I planned and wrote down goals. And you know what happens when I don’t write them down…they don’t get done or more often than not, it gets forgotten about.
Naturally, I have written various to-do lists, but nothing that constitutes a plan of action. Which was sorely needed as I tend to get a little flaky, then procrastination sets in.
Since I have ramped up work on book one of The Evolved Series, I thought perhaps it was time to sit down and think seriously about my short-term and long-term goals.

Get up at 5 am, walk the dogs and write for an hour while the household is still asleep.

Finish the first draft of Evolved by the end of the July.

Revise draft until it is ready to go to editor for the final edit by August.

Publish “The Evolved” by late September if all goes well with edits.

Research editors.

Look into Beta Readers and Critique partners.

Commission cover designer – This I have done. I have a fabulous cover designer working on concepts as we speak.

Finish detailed outline of Book Two – This is almost done.

Update Dragon Black Press company website.

Long-term goals:-

Marketing for the book series.

Write, edit and publish two books per year.

Bullet Journalling:-

I love planning and planners. Especially Erin Condren. However, of late I have been looking at the advantages of bullet journaling for organizing my time in a more personalized way. The EC planners are fantastic, but they are not really suiting my needs with regards to project planning, writing, and my home life. Ideally, I need something I can adapt month to month should the need arise. I have been researching layouts on Pinterest getting a feel for what would work for me. We’ll see how I get on with that.
